Introduction

The LX100 is a keyless proximity door lock that fits most

standard doors. Simply replace your existing cylindrical style

door handle with the LX100 for an economical access control

system for your business or home. The locks provide stand

alone operation and do not require the use of a computer or any

external device for programming. They are powered by standard

alkaline batteries eliminating the need for wiring. The LX100

uses radio frequency technology to instantly identify proximity

badges and key fobs. No transaction history is retained.

LX100 Features

• User-installable access control

• 120 user capacity per lock

• Operates for 1 year or 4,000 activations on batteries

• Heavy duty all metal construction

• Lighted display & audio alerts for badge authorization

• Stand-alone operation - no computer required

• One year warranty

• Designed in the USA

Installation

Please refer to the separate Quick Start Guide enclosed with the

lock for basic installation instructions. More detailed installation

instructions, including the preparation of new doors, are

contained in the back of this User’s Guide.

Using the LX100

When a badge or key fob is placed over the reader window of

the LX100, it instantly reads its unique encoded ID number and

verifies that it has been authorized to open the door. The LX100

comes with five preprogrammed badges which can be used

immediately following installation with no additional setup

required.

Good Badge

If the badge or key fob has been programmed into to the lock,

the LX100 flashes a blue light, sounds a positive tone, and

engages the door handle to allow access. The default unlock

window to open the door is 5 seconds, but this can be

customized for each lock to 3 or 10 seconds (see Customizing

Unlock Window).

Bad Badge

If a badge or key fob has not been programmed into the lock, the

LX100 will flash a red light and a sound a negative tone. The

handle will not engage the latch and the door will not open.

Badges and Key Fobs

The LX100 supports the use of Lathem proximity ID badges

(included with lock) or optional Lathem proximity key fobs that

users can simply attach to their key chains. The use of badges

or key fobs is an individual user preference, and they can be

used interchangeably on any lock.

A badge or key fob can be programmed to be one of two distinct

types of users of the LX100: Master or User

Master Badges

The Master not only allows access through the door, but also

provides additional administrative rights to the holder so they can

add and remove users as needed. The LX100 supports up to two

(2) Master badges or key fobs. Each Master can add up to 59

individual Users. Therefore, the LX100 supports up to 120 total

authorized users including the two Masters. The LX100 comes

with one preprogrammed Master badge, which is identified by

the global key sticker located in the lower left corner of one of the

badges. This Master badge can begin accessing the lock and

adding or removing users as needed without any additional

programming (see Adding a Master).

User Badges

A User badge or key fob allows access through the door. User

badges or key fobs are added by a Master badge. There can be

up to 59 User badges assigned to each Master card. The LX100

comes with four (4) preprogrammed User badges. These

badges do not have the global key sticker like the Master badge.

These User badges can begin accessing the lock immediately

with no additional programming needed.

Backup Keys

The keys enclosed with your LX100 are for backup purposes in

the event of badge loss or battery failure only. Keep your keys in

a protected and easy-to-remember location OUTSIDE of the

room the lock is on. Lathem does not manufacture or stock extra

keys. You are responsible for their safekeeping.

1. The keyhole cover is attached using a high-powered magnet.

Your backup keys also have a smaller magnet embedded on

one side to assist in removing the keyhole cover. Or, you

can use your fingernail to pry open the cover.

2. After removing keyhole cover, place key in keyhole with

arrow and notch pointing up to align with dot above keyhole.

3. Insert key and turn to the right until key stops.

4. While key is turned, push handle down to open door.

“Meeting Mode” Setting (Lock Bypass)

Warning: Meeting Mode disables the lock and bypasses the

use of badges for authorization. When in this mode, the lock

will function only as a door handle. These badges will serve as

“on/off switches” if a room is being used for a long meeting, etc.

1. The badge(s) you assign to Meeting Mode will serve this

function solely and cannot be used as a User badge. So,

if you have a badge that’s been programmed as a User

badge and want to reprogram it as Meeting Mode badge,

you must first clear the User badge programming as

previously described in “Deleting an Individual Badge”.

2. Remove Interior handle & place Master badge on display

once, then remove. After you hear one “beep” and see

blue light flashing, press the programming button once.

3. The light will now flash red and blue. Place the badge

you want to program for Meeting Mode on the display.

You will hear 4 ascending notes (1-2-3-4).

4. This badge will now allow you to turn off the

authorization of badges and override the lock for as long

as you wish. To return the lock to normal, simply present

the Meeting Mode badge once more or any badge

programmed to this lock.

5. Label the badge as you prefer in the “Name” field

(i.e. “Meeting Badge for Conference Rm.”) and store

badge in a secure location.

6. To clear the Meeting Mode badge see “Deleting an

Individual Badge”. This will return the badge to a vacant,

un-programmed status.

7. You can program up to 58 Meeting Mode badges per

Master badge.

Using Multiple Locks

If you have purchased multiple LX100s, you can configure and

change the badge accessibility to each of your locks as you

prefer. Remember that each lock is stand alone which means

you must program them individually. However, this also means

you have greater flexibility to customize access to rooms as

employees or work areas change.

For example, if you want to program a User badge from Lock #1

to also access Lock #2, simply use Lock #2’s Master badge to

add it to Lock #2.

Please note: We suggest you maintain a list of which badges are

programmed to which locks (example below), location of

emergency backup keys and Meeting Mode badges. Keep the

list updated frequently.

Maintaining the Lock

The Lathem LX100 is designed for years of trouble-free

operation. The only routine maintenance typically required is the

changing of batteries and occasional cleaning.

You should routinely check your batteries every few months

depending on the usage of door.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: When the batteries begin to run

low, you will see the Red light flash and a beep after badges are

used. You may also notice that the volume of the beeps

decreases. Change all four batteries (AA alkaline only) as soon

as possible.

Clean handle by spraying a small amount of glass cleaner on to

a towel and wipe handles with soft towel.

Periodically inspect handles for tampering, vandalism or “wear

and tear”. After a period of usage, you may find it beneficial to

retighten the connecting screws by removing the Interior handle

and using a screwdriver.
